I have never flashed this ROM. Yet, I am aware of this issue. Why? Because I read things.

On a less jerk note, ya, thats a known problem and its been noted. I dont think there is a current fix.

Hey Scott thanks for reply..I know how to do both easily and the first step about timeouts was already done and has not worked...on this rom I still get the same prob..so I need a different possibility or solution..

And as for the second issue..that's all I can do is ignore the prob and band aid it with using another launcher altogether? The stock launcher is great..not sure what crapped it out..might try reflash to see if and how long til happens again.. but I guess using something else might be my only option?

Anyways thanks for the help and reply. If u or anyone else has any other thoughts, thanks
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
something else that just popped up on me (on 3.1) is a wifi issue where sometimes after wake up the wifi gauge in upper right shows empty as if no signal but setting show connected with good signal. Now sometimes I can still use my connection just fine and others I have to reboot. Tried simply turn wifi off n on but goes back to blank icon and need to reboot. Anyone? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
Hey dude... to verify your wifi is working check out 'Data Usage' in settings. It might look like you are using wifi but you are not.

Check something out like... a youtube video while on wifi. if you dont see the usage increase then your wifi is probably behaving correctly. Otherwise if you see the usage increase then wifi is really not working.

Haha why everybody so angry today jeez. I was just curious because I have been on doc's v2, THS v15 and team sgs and have only seen this problem now. I know I have seen that it is a problem, but I haven't seen any fixes and I was curious. I think I am going to stay out of this thread for a bit i haven't seen a thread with so many angry people lol. Maybe its just one of those days. Sorry :) smile and be happy!

Not many have the cable. I believe onecosmic doesn't either.

Is there anywhere else to get the rc4 release (regardless of known possible wifi issues) or do we have to wait for fix and re release from here?

FYI - I just loaded this on my phone and I had to use the ultimate kernel cleaner to get it to load properly. Tried twice it was taking more than 10 minutes each time - ran the kernel cleaner up in less than 3.

[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
ok , now when you say see an increase in data usage( I have never paid attention to data usage in settings before while using wifi) are you referring to the blue graph or the lines shown next to each running app?

because I was able to connect in McDonald's to there wifi ,my main question though was I could not find what data issues people were having (death in the family kinda stops you from reading all 472 pages so read about 20 or so) so i wasn't sure if I have them or not , because throughout this ROM build most of the issues folks were having I did not experience

I checked(didn't realize there was a separate wifi usuage section) and as I watch a few youtube video's with wifi on that number goes up- so is that what you are referring too , does that verify my wifi is working and not just appearing to work?

I even wipe data and dalvik manually twice.

Should be working, but it is depreciated - just tested it - but might not work on stock phone browser - not sure they there are so many issues with the stock browser not downloading thing proper or erroring out.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It should have done everything itself
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Might need more testing if it failed or just did not detect what was causing the problem, really don't know.

BTW I was coming from RC 3.1 also tried it from Doc's V2 - same problem on my phone.

Maybe I should mention that trying to do Nandroid restore failed - I had to do a data wipe before it would restore properly.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You tried to restore before or after using the zip?

So if wifi is not working why does it say connected and only wifi data usage number went up when it showed that wifi was on how do I know?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I use my data manger app. I was on wifi but I used att's data. I believe the graphics in setting is mobile not wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
Thats the problem dude... its saying WIFI is on/working but its really not.

If your wifi data usage shows its increasing then your probably good. but most people didnt know that it wasnt working cuz they saw the WIFI status on the notification bar.

4.1 will be out soon in any case.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
thanks for the info but are you saying that i have to use this mehod? shouldn't the 3.5 to rca be working with this rom or no? I guess i ultimately would prefer to use the hdmi but will have to get that cable.. i know i have a few mini hdmi/usb but dunno if i have the micro usb to hdmi...will have to find if you say that is the only way this video out will work.. thanks

Wifix seems to solve the wifi issue in RC4...for me

I would just like to say that some of the info I picked from various posts here in the past few days have helped to get the wifi issue fixed for me on the RC4 release.

The WiFix update via Wifix manager worked immediately and although I've only tested it for a few hours it worked right away and has not dropped a connection once and this was coming from no connection at all after the RC4 flash install.

this link should help (that also refers to posts from this site)

http://www.fardjad.com/android/wifix

I downloaded the wifixmanager.apk onto an external sd card but simply removing your sim card should allow you to use your wifi connection (which I did afterwards to do the update anyways) cuz it seems this wifi issue is related to the settings when the sim card is inserted.

I installed the file, ran the update, turned off/on wifi and rebooted and has been working ever since.

Thanks to those that had some info related to this already posted to help with fix...cuz it appears this was the only major issue holding this release back..will now test and see how it runs from here on out... 3.1 has been great! and the fixes posted in the release should only make it that much better!

It may not be a true HD signal but my GB ROM prior to I could plug the micro USB to hdmi into my phone and then an hdmi from there to my a/v receiver and play games on my phone and see it on my TV.

I found it a useless feature because when playing MC3 if I was looking at my TV I couldn't keep track I of what my thumbs were doing on my phone screen and kept dying. I haven't used it since trying the one time. I'll dig the cable back out tomorrow and test with this ROM. Can't see why it wouldn't work.

For movies and pictures on my phone I just stream them wirelessly to my TV. So I have no real reason to hard wire connect.

How to install AllShare on this ICS release?

In trying to do video out and having no luck with the 3.5 to rca..i thought I could just simply do the wireless DLNA method and use AllShare..but don't have it anymore.. hmmm.. looked on this site and found a zip file that had the .apk and odex and how to install it but i had no luck

anyone know of a way to get Allshare on this ICS or another way I can wireless stream/display phone to tv?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tsuda:
I use Skifta and works well. I dunno why people want to use a cable.
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Install Allshare Player from Market. Run Allshare, your phone will then show up as a DLNA source on your TV
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
AllShare is irrelevant as there are many other DLNA apps i've found..

well i've just found out that there are many apps in the marketplace that utilize DLNA and are easy to setup and run, so Allshare is unnecessary but they all just run music,pics,video from device... that's fine..and i'll have use for that..

but none of them can act as if hooked up direct with vid out.. to see phone on screen.. i thought some apps might do that but apparently not...

so i'm back to square one with issue on vid out.. does anyone know for sure if the micro usb to hdmi is supposed to work on our cappy's or not? a lot of mixed findings on this site and others..and supposedly not possible via samsung.. so means only 3.5 to rca is only option? and if so.. just how can i get it working?

got a new cable and using the galaxy s settings app...only get audio.. and just noticed that strangely i get audio on even the yellow video rca cable if plugged into one of the red or white audio in ports.. but no matter what cable is in the yellow vid in port...no vid on screen...

any thoughts anyone..or am i s.o.l. on this rom? vid out via 3.5 rca worked on stock rom as far as i know..
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
how do you know it is actually working because I have had the latest version of that app installed and according to what I was told a few posts back they feel my wifi is appearing to be working but may not actually be working

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

it has a tab that shows you how much data WiFi uses as well- didn't know this until yesterday- I mainly installed RC4 to play with the camcorder settings( actually kind of hysterical when you use the effects)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It's not that wifi doesn't work. It's that if you have wifi and data on phone will give priority to data and not wifi for usesage.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Probably because most people's TV's don't support wifi yet.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I had to enable that tab. Learned something new Lol.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
The restore was after I got on RC4.

FYI I got my wifi working by disabling Wifix and Wifix manager. I think this will work fine for anyone in the USA that doesn't need Country specific information.

For those of us with flashing addiction. New kernels for RC4/RC3.1. DOES NOT fix the wifi/data issue.
[Captivate Android Development] SPE926:
Might be a stupid question but, I'm still on 3.1 will the new kernal cause the wifi/data issue? And will it implement the 100 MHz step?

EDIT 2: reboot and wifi worked without a problem
[Captivate Android Development] SPE926:
Ī

Ah, I figured the Wifi issue was ROM specific, just wanted to double check. I tried RC 4 but it was really laggy for me. Reverted back to 3.1 because it was so smooth. Gonna flash and I'll see if the 100mhz works.

Edit: 100 MHz is working for me now. Also adds all the new governors from RC 4.

[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Did you find a solution to this ? Same thing is happening to me right now. Will try a batt pull and hopefully that allows it to boot up

***edit*** solution found. It appears on the first attempt "can not restore data" is the problem. Pull batterty after getting stuck in bootloop / button combo back into recovery / reapeat NAND restore / 2nd time will restore all system and DATA files (least it did for me). Reboots perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] SPE926:
That also happened to when restoring from RC 4 to 3.1. I wiped everything (data, system, and cache) restored again and all was well.

Certain 3.5 to RCA cables won't work for video out

FINALLY got the video out working!

Well so far so good with the latest RC4.0 release. I did have the wifi issue off the bat but as posted earlier I was able to fix (quickly and easily) with the WifixManager update and Wifix itself. Wifi working great and the rom itself is fabulous thus far and the posted fixes all seem to be working fine and haven't noticed other issues yet.

Love the release. Great job

Confirm it doesn't work on RC4. Found this out a while back helping someone in the ICSSGS Q&A.

I know y'all are busy, and I'm loving RC3.1 (can't wait for RC4), but I have a question/request.

I saw another ICS rom had added the ability to unlink the ringtone and the notification volumes back in.

It was a feature I loved and was sad it had been dropped in ICS, but was happy when I saw it elsewhere. Just a suggestion. Keep up the AWESOME work!

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I was having the same issue, so one day, I downloaded several and started systematiaclly going through them till I found one that worked pretty well for me.

As with most modems, you're mileage may vary, but I've found here in the Tulsa, OK area that UGKG3 is working really well for me.

Once I found one that worked, I didn't keep going. Though you'll probably have to do the same thing to find one for your area.

Just to avoid any confusion for anyone that isn't sure. If you are already on I897 BLs (such as KF1) then there is no need to EVER flash BLs again.
